Notes:

'Outskirts' explores the origins of Britain's green belt . It will chart the genesis of the idea, which grew from romantic 19th-century notions of the countryside and our past; the pioneers behind organisations such as the National Trust; and the green belt's place in the landscape and psyche of post-war Britain.
